I decided to try my hand at a make-ahead method on this one. We did all our shopping and cooking on Sunday and stored it in the fridge until Wednesday. When we were ready to make these, I heated up the filling in a pan - just to warm it through, then dished it out as suggested in the directions. I didn't have Hoisin Sauce - because Aldi didn't have it and life has been to nutso to go elsewhere to get any, but Oyster Sauce was what we used instead. It was pretty delicious. I'd be interested in trying some teriyaki sauce in these cups - yum.
The kids loved the shape and had fun getting them out of the cupcake tin. Another fun meal - let's see what other shapes we can use this cast of characters in next time!
Asian Chicken Wonton Cups
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 lb uncooked 99% lean ground chicken breast (you can substitute ground turkey breast)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
3 oz shiitake mushrooms, diced (you can substitute another mushroom if unable to locate shiitake)
1 cup shredded green cabbage (or bagged coleslaw mix)
2 sliced scallions, divided
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce, divided (found by the other Asian sauces)
1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
24 wonton wrappers
Pre-heat the oven to 375. Lightly mist 12 cups in a standard muffin/cupcake tin with cooking spray and set aside.
Pour the sesame oil in a large skillet or saute pan and bring over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, stirring and breaking up into small pieces, until the chicken is cooked through. Add the garlic and ginger to the meat and stir together. Cook for another minute and then add the mushrooms, cabbage, half the scallions and the black pepper. Stir together and cook for 2- 3 minutes until the veggies are softened. Remove from heat. Add the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the Hoisin sauce, and the sriracha and stir to combine.
Push a wonton wrapper into the bottom of each of the sprayed cups in the muffin tin. Using about half of the chicken mixture, spoon evenly into the wonton wrappers. Press another wonton wrapper on top and fill with the remaining chicken mixture.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the wontons are golden brown and the contents are heated through. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before removing from the tin. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of Hoisin sauce onto the tops of the wonton cups and sprinkle with the remaining sliced green onions.
